Inaugural Blog!


As I'm finally gearing up to draft my first blog entry - ever - I get a notice from the site that my page has been flagged as a possible spam blog. What?! I barely comprehend enough about blogs to muddle through the set-up phase and get one going - and I get flagged? What is suspicious about a family blog - would someone lie about having three boys and a busy life? Look, first blog, and already I digress...

The inaugural blog posting is somewhat delayed due to my page being "verified" as legit - but story is still fresh in my mind, so no worries. So last Monday I pick up Austin from his sitter, Miss Sunita, and she hands me a very full diaper bag. Seems he soiled his sheets and blanket during naptime - which is somewhat unusual. As she elaborates, it turns out that Austin is taking after his Uncle Eric already...



Now Austin is a fan of removing his pants whenever possible - particularly in his crib. And if we let him run around in just a diaper, he tries to pull that off as well - the little man just prefers nakedness. Well, apparently he's a fan of fingerpainting as well...can you see where I'm going with this? During naptime, he removed his pants, then his diaper, proceeding to drop a load on the sheets, then use it as a medium for fingerpainting - all over the crib!! Very remniscent of a prank pulled by a very young Uncle Eric - I believe when Aunt Marty was watching him. I apologized profusely to Sunita, and was secretly thankful that he hadn't tried that trick at home just yet.



Needless to say, he is now sporting a snapped onesie under all pants - extra layer of protection!

And, just to close out this first posting with a nod to our Dynamic Duo, here are the ski school pics from the slopes at Seven Springs, PA. (The picture at the top of this posting is also from our ski trip - we don't get that sort of white stuff at our house!)
